Like I’ve been saying for weeks now, Miami was never a contender because it makes no sense to go to the same division as Tom Brady.

And for 2 weeks you’ve been wrong.

Good point. That along with the poster above who described Denver weather as a non-issue for most of the season is why I feel weather or outdoors will have no bearing on the decision Peyton makes.

I myself would enjoy seeing him play in Denver or Arizona.

I just don’t see him in Denver…there has got to be another team we don’t know about.

good information on his outdoor vs. indoor stats. The other thing people look at to say he plays poorly outdoors in bad weather is the Colts won/loss is 13-10 in December and January. However, that is a bit misleading too. He had several games in December that he played a few snaps and sat out the rest of game because the Colts playoff spot was set.

Wait, what?

-I thought the same thing about the weather in CO before I moved here, but the reality is quite different. Yes, we may get a good 6-12″ of snow every so often, but it’s back up in the 60′s the next day and all of the snow’s gone. I’ve been to chilly games in Mile High, but have also sat in the stands in December in a t-shirt and jeans. Whether he comes here for sure, I have no idea. The sheer fact that all signs seem to point to it makes me doubt it. But weather WON’T be the deciding factor.

Manning took a deuce this morning and due to nerve damage, needed ASSistance in cleaning up. He says it will not affect his throwing as long as no one asks him to.

Caveat emptor.
He screwed the Colts last year so he’ll screw anybody.

Don’t you see the significance of Manning helping to teach and develop whomever the Dolphins draft at QB? I am more interested in that then Miami being an instant contender.

Umm, let’s do a fact check. One of the top defenses in the league? Official stats from the NFL had Denver 20th in yards per game last year (357) and 24th in points per game (24.4). The unit was improved from rock bottom the prior season, but you think it was a top defense? Sorry, not even close guy. Also, this “top” defense is going to be without some players who will be suspended for some portion of the season. On the offensive side of the ball, you D. Thomas and not much else unless you think a broken down Willis McGahee is the answer in the run game. There won’t be any more gimmicky Tebow led red option to fool people. This will be a conventional NFL offense with Manning, and the fact is Denver just doesn’t have that much talent to execute it.

Manning is not going to a team “on the verge”. If he or anyone else thinks that, then I wonder who the real morons are?

——————–

Simple-PHX and Denver are the stooges/patsies in this drama.

Tennessee is entering the mix which will scare Texas into making a move.

10 other things could happen and the Manning camp has had 2 months of scheming.

The drama is just starting.

Anyway, not ALL Dolphins Fans want Peyton. I most certainly don’t! Just a few years back the Miami Dolphins were still the winningest franchise in all major professional sports. About a decade ago we brought in Jimmy Johnson and went for quick-fix solutions through FA. Bad Luck and Coaching turnover crippled the organization.

Consequently, the AFC East was ruled by Brady (notice I didn’t say the Pats). Like Marino gone; in a few years Brady will be too , sending the Pats back to the bottom, where they spent most of their time. The Jets got lucky as they literally backed into the Playoffs by Teams resting the final week. They are a good team in trouble with Cap Space, age and Lockerroom leadership. The Fan base is Not behind Sanchez, just as we were not behind Henne. The Bills get my respect. They are doing it right. It takes time through the Draft and some FA. The problem for them is most high profile FAs really dont want to be in the Buffalo market. Thats a problem. Mark my words: the NFL is Cyclic and no team stays at the top. Approx. every 12 years it inverts with some exceptions like all good theories. I expect to see the Dolphins and the Bills battle for AFC East crowns again and the Cowboys and Redskins battle will mean something and the Rams and 49ers (oh wait! that already came true). The Bengals! They can only get better with $60M in cap spending. Houston is here to stay and the Broncos will be back if they dont sign Peyton, although they do have the funds to do it without crippling the franchise.

Dolphins fans will rejoice either way in getting a QB. I hope it to be Flynn without breaking the Cap Bank. I could care less what our dopey Owner actually pays him. We need a few more pieces. Peyton would be exciting and risky for a year or two, but not a good move. Matt Moore was the 11th ranked QB and that is with no snaps at Practice, an embarrassing right Side Oline and yet Won 6 games down the stretch. Unfortunately, the Media and Comment Boards will beat the Phins either way. I say stay the course and keep building with value FA’s and youth and a Healthy Payroll. Have any of you seen “Moneyball”?

Defense: #11 overall in 2011. Played amazing down the stretch, single-handedly got Denver to the playoffs. Particularly strong against the pass. Strong pass rush, good cover corners. Usually played from behind but are built to play with a lead. Manning helps here.

Offense: #1 in rushing in 2011. Strong stable of running backs. WRs are talented and have never had a QB to showcase their skill. Demaryius Thomas was a first round pick 2 years ago – is 6’3 ,240 lbs, runs a 4.4 forty. Eric Decker is better than a lot of #2 WRs out there. Eddie Royal is a great Z, and is basically more athletic Brandon Stokley.

I can easily see a healthy Manning-armed Denver beating New England in the playoffs in 2011.

I think there is a MYSTERY TEAM….PHILLY

C’mon Peyton, please please announce in a tweet that you are “taking your talents” somewhere.

2) Arizona…..IS 16mill over the cap at the moment, how in the world do you trim 16mill and sign PM? You would have to cut some real talent to make that fit.

3) Miami…..Where the Fins do not have the complexes denver and arizona have, they have the plus of PM being familiar with not only the surroundings but the facilities. The weather is ideal as they have a bubble to get out of the heat (ariz does not) and they have cap room and quality players at WR and RB. The fact that he has ended his Lebron tour without going to talk to the fins in my estimation is a money powerplay, plain and simple.
